IN THE COMMONS.
Another T 1t Had Over the Irish
Crimes Bill.


LONDON, May 13.-In the commons
Healy, in order to meet the case of
Ulster. moved an amendment to the
crimes bill, that the inquiry must be
directed into case of crime whether in
proclaimed district or not upon
sworn information by the injured
party. Holmes, attorney general for
Ireland, repudiated the amendment as
unnecessary. Healy challenged Holmes
to mention single instance of an Or
angeman having been hanged for the
murder of Il Catholic. Holmes said he
him to explain his reason for saying the
blood of Gitfen would be on the head of
Earl Spencer. Earl Spencer knew that
rival Nationalist and Orange meetings
were announced to be held in Dromore
on the same day, and that they ought to
be prohibited. Therefore, he (H0lmeS)
maintained that the expression was JUS
titiable. Sir William Vernon Harc0urt
reprOached Holmes with reiterating an
expression intended to inflame party
passion. Baifour said the last speaker
need not fear that the example of Holmes
would have any injurious effect upon
the gentlemen below the gangway, and
tauntingly asked whether the Opposi-
tending to unprecedented districts the
operation of the clause which they were
now opposing word by word. Gladstone
said he marveled at Balfour'S,
wishing peaceful close of the discus
sion after doing everything he could to
eXasperate passion. He (Gladstone)
had heard Holmes speech with the
greatest regret. 1t appeared to him
that Holmes said one thing in Parlia-
ment, and another thing in Ireland.
The chairman interrupting-'' Order,
order! The discussion is travelling wide
of the subject. l think the matter
should drop"
Gladstone resumed his seat after ex-
pressing regret that Balfour had chosen
to prolong the discussion. The amend
ment was withdrawn.
Mr.. Lockwood Liberal, moved an
amendment with the object of limiting
the operation of the clause to the most
serious Offenses. Attorney General
Webster said the government was un-
able to accept the amendment. If any
one OffenSe was worse than another
against which the clause was directed
it was conspiracy to boycott. T.
p. O'COnnor said that the govern.
ment had at last let the cat
out of the bag in admitting that the most
stringent powers of the bill had for theil
object the suppression of boycotting
Sir William Vernon HarcOurt pointed
out that there was no such provision il

With him every citizen is equal before

deserves it. A wise man, he well
knew that great government could
not be improvised in day; an honest
man, he commissioned no applicant un-
til he had tested such applicants fitness;
a patriotic man, he placed the public
good and the honor and welfare OF the
public offices far above and beyond the
standards of the hucksters and the
small politicians-so far that they have
never been able, and will not, during his
administration, to reach them. Surely
these things will not fail. As President
Cleveland has made his administration

AN INSURANCE CASE.
Important Decision Regarding the
Rights of n POlicyhOIder

hISHtS Ol d fOIEcynOIQer.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, May 13.-An
important life insurance case, which
has attracted much attention and dis
cussiOn throughout the country, was
decided in the United States court
to-day by Judge ID. NJ. Key. The
case was that of Young VS.. The
Equitable Life Assurance company. of
New York. Yongg made application
for $1,000 of Insurance.: and the policy
was issued, but was not presented at
the assured's place of business until
two weeks after its date. When the
policy was ready for delivery it was
learned that the assured was sick, and
although the premium was rendered it
was refused. Five weeks afterward the
assured died and, the policy being still
i'll the hands of the local agent, an in
junction was secured preventing its re-
turn. The company contested the
claim because the claim for insur-
ance contained clause providing that
the first premium must be paid during
the life and good health of the assured.
Judge Key gave Judgment for the
plaintiff for the face of the policy, with
interest and costs, and decided that the
policy went into force when the appli-
cation was accepted and the pol
icy issued; that the clause upon
which the company predicted its de-
Tense was waived by the fact that the
agent of the company had given the ap-
plicant indulgence as to payment of
premium, and that the company was
responsible for the delay in the deliv-
cry of the policy which was occasoned
by an error on the part of the cOmpa-
ny'S medical examiner.

The London Times RenewS It's
Attacks on ParneII.

LONDON, May 13.-The Times has re-
sumed publication of regular articles in
tended to show a connection between
'.Parnellism and Crime" The present
series of articles is entitled, Behind
the Scenes in America" The matter is
the result of an inquiry which the
Times says it instituted last summer
into the relations between the Ameri-
can Fenians and the Parnellites, and
purports to contain a number of secret
records of the Clan-na-Gael society OBJ
tanned through a schism in the society
and quarrels among its leaders. Among
the documents published are what
is alleged to be copies of the
constitution of the society, list of its
officers at various epochS, letters from
its past and present leaders, secret cir
culars and reports of the sOciety's con-
ventiOn. The Times says its inquiries
are not yet completed, for the reason
that that society has been reorganiZed
so that its system of working has be-
come seemingly an impenetrable mys-
terry. Editorially commenting on its
present revelations, the Times says:
1t is impossible to doubt that the policy of
the Parnellites, and therefore of Mr.. Glad
stone, is ultimately dictated by the heads of
the society and by Patrick Ford.

THE SEAL FISHERIES.
British Vessels Released From
Seizure---LaW Points.

WASHINGTON, May 13.-Inquiry at
the department of state regarding the
British vessels seized in Behring sea
last summer disclOseS the fact that no,
demand has ever been made by the
British government for the release OF
the vessels, nor has any claim for dam
ages caused by their seizure been made
upon the government of the United
States. The correspondence between
the two governments on the subject
was very limited. 1t opened with a
letter from the English government re-
citing the fact of the seizures and ask
ing for information relative to the de-
tails. This was received i'll September
last and Secretary Bayard Immediately
began an examination of the matter. 1t
became necessary to secure the record
Of the proceedings before the United
States court in Alaska which had re-
suited in the condemnation of the seal
ers, and it was not until the following
February that this was received
at the department. A careful ex-
animation was then made of the
law, and of the treaty of ceSSiOn by
which the United States became pos
SeSSed OF Alaska, which resulted in the
order for the release of the seized YES
L
released was communicated to the Brit
ish government, and that was about all
there was of the correspondence on the
subject. There had been no occasion
for this government to make an official
declaration Of the extent of its iuriSdic-
ton over the waters of the Behring sea.
The matter received
a CAREFUL EXAMINATION,
however. and the details of the treaty
and prior correspondence on the general
subject of marine jurisdiction were
studied. 1t was found that the bound
ary line between the Russian and
United States possessions, as defined by
the treaty, divided the waters OF
Behring sea into two parts, which would
tend to negative the idea that it was a
closed sea, as the term is commonly un-
derstood. This government has also
resisted vigorously the claim of Russia
to jurisdiction over the Sea of Ochotsk,
most surrounded by Russian pos
sessions, and refused to ac-
knowledge Russia's claim to jurisdiction
over Behring sea, before the ceSSiOn of
Alaska. In 1870, however, congress
passed the laws for the protection of the
fisheries of Behring's sea, and by its de-
ciSion sustaining the seizures, the Alaska
court appears to have affirmed the iuris-
dictiOn thus asserted. Meanwhile, be-
fore assuming a final stand on the ,ques-
ton OF jurisdiction, the department. of
state is awaiting with interest the re-
suit of the suit for S22,500 brought in
Massachusetts against Capt. Abrie, of
the Corwin, by the owners of the Amer
lean schooner Sierra, which was also
seized last summer in Alaskan waters,
distant thirty miles from the nearest

CANADA'S BUDGET.
1t Means More Debt With No Pros
perOuS Outlook,

OTTAWA, Ont, May 13.-Opinion is
divided on Sir Charles Tupper's budget
speech, delivered in parliament last
night. He is acknowledged, however,
to have scored against the oppo-
sition by obtaining the permission
of the imperial government to negotiate
with Spain treaty for trade
relations between and Canada and Cuba
and Porto Rico. Mr.. Cartwright, eX-
finance minister, replied this evening to
Sir Charles speech. He condemned the
government for increasing the debt
while the population of the country was
practically stationary. He did not
Canada was at present more
than 4,500,000. The amount of
of exports per head had fallen off from
$21 in 1913 to s17 in 1886, while the total
trade had decreased from S217, 100000 in
1878 to $139,0O0,000 in 1886. Exports of
Canada manufactured goods were
100000 less last year than in 1878. Mr..
Cartwright strongly objected to the
increase in taxation, particularly,
in view of the fact that farmers
profits have been reduced so much of
late years. He estimated that within
the last ten or twelve years the net in
come OF the farmers of Canada has been
reduced to S20,000,000. Referring to the
Oft-repeated utterances of Sir John Nc
Donald that he would prefer annexation
rather than independence if change in
Canada's relationship to the mother
country were to take. place, Mr.. Cart
wright said it was the essence of fun
keyism for the premier to talk in this
way. The policy the government was
pursuing bade fair to prove that when
the time came for change Canada
would not have the choice between an
neXatiOn and independence.

THE CATTLE INDUSTRY.
How Ranchmen Were Affected by
the Past Winter-FavorabI Out

BosToN, May 13.-The Commercial
Bulletin publishes to-day special reports
of the range and ranch cattle industry.
The reports are furnished by special
correspondents from thirteen states and
territories, covering the whole fell.
The conclusions arrived at indicate that
the early reports of winter losses have
been considerably exaggerated. The
only territory where cattlemen suffered
severe losses was in Montana, where
the mortality proves to have been from
ID to 25 per cent on the average. The
losses in Colorado, Western Kansas
and Nebraska were very light
the past winter, running under
per cent. on the average.
Parts of Idaho and Wyoming suffered
quite severely, particularly i'll the north
western section, but the average loss in
both territories were not excessive.
Utah, New Mexico and Arizona were
particularly fortunate. New Mexico
correspondents write that the loss does
exceed 3 per cent. in either of the terri
tories named. Texas reports some Suf-
fering because of the draught, but the
winter was much more favorable to
stOekmen than that of 1856. On the
whole, therefore, the conclusion is az
rived at that the past winter was
A FAVORABLE ONE
to the cattle raising interests of the
West, and that the hide and leather
markets will not feel the effects notice
